More importing improvements!
Users can now mark if each sheet in their upload has the header as the first row. The header is used to create column names in the uploaded sheet. If the header is not the first row of data, generic column names will be used (A, B, C).
When importing a spreadsheet file that has multiple worksheets, users can now specify which workbooks to include in the import. Previously all worksheets were imported by default.

Responsive Embeds
Embedded charts and datatables are now responsive - they will autosize to fit the width they are given.
To use the new responsive embed tag, you must copy it and its script tag from the Share Dialog.
You can also change the background color of the embedded charts by changing the background color of the embed iframe.
There is now an easier way to edit chart titles - by clicking on the text itself. The kinds of text that is editable this way:
- Title
- Subtitle
- Axis Title
- Legend Title
Should make it a bit easier to change the chart text!
Users can now select custom colors for items appearing in legends - this will also color the corresponding chart piece. This new feature applies to charts with legends such as a
stacked bar chart
, multi line chart
, pie chart
, etc.Read more here: Customizing Colors
The data tables now support clickable html links.
If the full text of a cell is a valid url (Ex: https://instacharts.io), it will show as a clickable link. Links will open in a new tab.
Users can now hide the bottom toolbar from embedded charts and datatables.
The new "
Show Embed Toolbar
" toggle on the Share Dialog now controls whether the bottom toolbar will appear.For more info, check out our guide on Sharing Charts

Custom Number Formatting
Number Formatting has received two major updates:
- 20 different number formatting optionsare now available by default including (accounting), bytes, ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and a variety of abbreviations for numbers and currency (thousand, millions, billions, etc.)
- A Custom formatoption is now available. You can define a format per axis and include units if you'd like! (mph, km/h etc)
Documentation for the new number formats can be found here: Number Formatting
A few fixes were made around number formatting and locales in the charts.
Percentages are no longer multiplied by 100 in the charts - you can still choose this under a new number formatting option (Percent (x100)).
Data labels and bin labels now correctly use the chosen locale for the chart.

Improved bin ranges & sorting
A few fixes and improvements have been made around binning ranges.
Users can now set the number of bins to appear in each axis. This number is not exact - the software will find a "nice" number of bins to use based on the user's setting, in order to neatly divide up values. Read more here: Limit Items
Users can also now select which axis to sort their pie pieces or stacked bar pieces by.
